Real music is always revolutionary, for it cements the ranks of the people; it arouses them and leads them onward.

Football is the ballet of the masses.

Our business is rejoicing, our business is rejoicing.

Every piece of music is a form of personal expression for its creator...If a work doesnt express the composers own personal point of view, his own ideas, then it doesnt, in my opinion, even deserve to be born.

Music is good, not evil. Poetry is good, not evil. Primitive, but oh, so true!

A great piece of music is beautiful regardless of how it is performed. Any prelude or fugue of Bach can be played at any tempo, with or without rhythmic nuances, and it will still be great music. That's how music should be written, so that no-one, no matter how philistine, can ruin it.

A creative artist works on his next composition because he was not satisfied with his previous one.
